NOTE

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BEST TWITTER EXAMPLE: “Do any of you have this problem?”

Engaging directly with potential users about specific problems can yield valuable feedback and interest for a new product. By sharing the initial idea in community platforms such as WhatsApp or Discord, individuals can gauge interest and capture responses that signal whether or not a market need exists. Direct follow-ups with interested participants can lead to preorders, validating the product's concept before launch. Additionally, understanding the reasons behind any hesitance to preorder, like a preference against being a beta tester, provides insight into user concerns. This process led to the eventual successful launch of a product that is on track to generate significant revenue, demonstrating the importance of not accepting 'no' as the final answer and pushing for understanding and engagement instead.
